1. We propose a generalized mathematical framework for estimating Heteroscadastic Aleatoric Uncertainty for any Neural Network. 2. We show that this gives rich informational cues for various robotics tasks. 3. This is super useful for tiny robots!

First paper from PeAR WPI (with PRG UMD) made it to the cover of Science Robotics @SciRobotics: science.org/doi/10.1126/scir… We observed that insects use minimal information for navigation. We realized "It's not the information but uncertainty is the key!"

Imagine flexible robots that can dive, swim, climb, and crawl to assist in challenging search and rescue environments. WPI robotics engineering professor @MarkusNemitz is working to develop them. wbjournal.com/article/wpi-aw… @WPI_Robotics

WPI awarded $600K to develop 3D-printed search-and-rescue robots

Worcester Polytechnic Institute researcher Markus Nemitz has received a $599,815 award from the National Science Foundation to advance the development of low-cost 3D-printed robots.

Next time you're in Unity Hall, take a closer look at some of the feature walls, furniture, and recognition signage. The oak trees that once sat where Unity Hall now stands were milled and used in several aspects of the building. #Reuse #Recycle

We always expect the unexpected at WPI, which is why it was no surprise to find robots and rockets alongside the campus tours, activities fair, and parent panels during the latest Accepted Student Day.
